Vaisala HUMICAP
Humidity and Temperature Probe HMP9 is designed for easy
installation into rapidly changing environments where fast response time,
measurement performance, and chemical tolerance are essential.
Miniatyre probe head with
HUMICAPâ performance
The main feature of HMP9 is its 5 mm
(0.2 in) diameter miniature probe head.
Despite the small footprint, the probe
head contains a HUMICAPâ sensor that
provides its industry standard humidity
measurement performance.
HMP9 has great stability, fast response
time, and low hysteresis in a wide range
of applications. This makes it the
superior choice in applications where the
mechanical properties or replaceable
filters of the heavier probes are not
needed.
Measurement environments where
occasional condensation is present are
not a problem as long as the probe is
protected from exposure to liquid water.
For continuously condensing
environments, use HMP7 with probe
heating instead.

Chemical purge minimizes
eects of contaminants
In environments with high
concentrations of chemicals and cleaning
agents, the chemical purge option helps
to maintain measurement accuracy
between calibration intervals.
The chemical purge involves heating the
sensor to remove harmful chemicals. The
function can be initiated manually or
programmed to occur at set intervals.
Flexible connectivity
The probe is compatible with Vaisala
Indigo series transmitters, and it can be
used as a standalone digital Modbus RTU
transmitter over RS-485 serial bus. For
easy-to-use access to field calibration,
device analytics, and configuration
functionality, the probe can be
connected to Vaisala Insight software for
Windowsâ. For more information, see
